"Vaccination with two doses of the vaccine shows a better result than the previous illness," - said the doctor.
In his opinion, the most effective protection against the omicron strain is provided by hybrid immunity, which is developed after illness and vaccination.
“The hybrid immunity turned out to be ten times higher in efficiency against the omicron,” explained Vodovozov.
He added that if the disease proceeds against the background of vaccination, then the person will have a mild course of the coronavirus.
"Vaccines ... provide protection from severe cases, from getting on ventilators and deaths," Vodovozov summed up.
Earlier, immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov, in an interview with URA.RU, said that elderly people who were seriously ill with coronavirus or patients with chronic diseases could die after recovering from an infection, three or four months later, from a heart attack, stroke or a broken blood clot.
